GE Healthcare Announces 140 New Jobs
GE Healthcare in Cork has announced it is to create 140 new jobs.
The jobs are part of a $40 million investment in its manufacturing facility in Carrigtwohill.
GE Healthcare is a subsidiary of the US multi-national General Electric.
The investment, which is supported by IDA Ireland, will double the Carrigtwohill facility's production capacity of medical imaging contrast media.
Paschal McCarthy, Managing Director, Global Supply Chain at GE Healthcare, said: "The announcement represents a key development in the journey of our facility here in Carrigtwohill.
"We are proud to be part of GE Healthcare's Life Sciences division as it grows and positions itself to meet the international demand for precision medicine, biologics and other advanced medicines such as cell and immunotherapies.
"Most importantly, this investment in our facility represents a significant vote of confidence in our people and their commitment to delivering the very best possible products available in the market."
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD, said: "Manufacturing is a key sector which we have targeted as part of our Action Plan for Jobs. This is an area which was neglected in recent decades but we have put in place a range of measures to support growth and in recent years we have seen a strong jobs performance.
"The announcement that GE Healthcare is investing $40 million and creating an extra 140 jobs in Carrigtwohill is a great boost for Cork and for manufacturing in Ireland. I wish Paschal and the team every success with this project."
